This review is from: King David's Harp (Paperback)
This book is a very important piece of literature. It is entertaining as well as historically relevant and informative.
This book takes a look at the lives of the diaspora in Latin America. It's an amazing collection of short stories by some of the most talented writers in Latin America.
They come from different countries and different cultures, but share the thread of being Jewish in a different world. Some are transplanted, some have always lived in Latin America.
This book opened my eyes to the life, the struggles and happinesses of the Jews who live and work in South America. I think everyone should read this book.
The history contained in this book is amazing. Most of the gentiles that I know have no idea about this part of history. We were not taught it in school. Can you imagine fleeing persecution in your homeland, finding yourself in a strange country with strange food, language, and customs, and down the street from you live the war criminals who forced you to flee?
Not all the short stories in this book are a great read, but they are all very important. It's a voice that should be heard!
